Hello, Dede Kimble and welcome back to BuzzMusic! With your release of "Different", how did you feel that this single contrasted and complemented other previous single releases of yours?
Thank you for having me! “Different” is a lot more emotional and personal of a song compared to “That’s What Friends Do.” This track was produced with a lot fewer elements compared to TWFD. Production-wise it has an emotional piano, brass, and strings and vocally there are not many background vocals or processing. I wanted this song to feel very emotional and be simple.
Was there a specific ambiance you attempted to set with "Different"? Considering the almost dramatic tone of the track, do you feel most listeners will extract a similar ambiance as the one you intended?
Yes! I was aiming for an emotional/dramatic ambiance. I referred to Gracie Abrams “I Miss You, I’m Sorry” and Lennon Stella’s “Older Than I Am.” I absolutely love the emotion and production of both of these songs and wanted to create that vibe with “Different.”
Would you say that you feel connected to your listeners through your music? Do you communicate with your listeners other than directly through your songs?
Absolutely. I was really worried my listeners wouldn’t be able to relate as much to “Different” but I was wrong. I’ve received the best feedback about how they have connected to my song on so many levels and it feels good to know I have written a song that can help heal what others are going through.
What's the primary passion and intent with your sound? When releasing singles such as "Different", what kind of reputation are you hoping to set for yourself as an artist?
I’m hoping to continue to be as real and raw as possible. “Different” was written about some personal experiences and it’s almost as though this story was torn from my diary. If sharing my stories can help others cope and heal then I will continue to share by being as honest as possible.
Can you give a word of advice to fellow artists out there that may be having a tough time staying creative throughout these tough times?
Don’t force it. I find a lot of times I am under pressure as an artist to be writing every day. While some artists are able to function that way, that is definitely not how I always work. I’ve found that while I had some time off from work and other responsibilities, I was able to really focus on myself and was less stressed. This really helped my creative juices to flow naturally and I actually ended up writing a handful of songs during quarantine! Don’t push it if it’s not there!
